I’m back! I have finally finished this godforsaken blog post!

Wow, I had so many more thoughts and feelings about this book than I expected to. If you’ve been enjoying my suffering at the hands of the ACOTAR books, congratulations - here’s the final installment (for now, I suppose).

I’ll be real with you: I was not excited to start this book.

And then when I did, it was a bit of a slog to get through. Moreso than the previous books in the series, by a long shot.

Now, I have what I was describing to a friend the other day as a deeply toxic relationship to this book and the series as a whole. I recognize all of the problems but I also just! Can’t! Seem! To stop talking about it and thinking about it. Fuck you, Sarah J Maas.

This book drove me, somehow, to reading fanfic about this series. Specifically, reading fanfic that actually addresses the issues in the book/the series and takes it to task on things, as well as giving justice to certain characters and plotlines. So there’s that, I guess?

Let’s get into it.
